    Well, the usual point of a forum post is to generate a thought with which others will contribute to and/or discuss thus creating a thread, where the original post will either be dropped as not correct or postulated upon.

    How does that invite any contributions from other people? Yes, Tardis IS latin for late...what more do you want? It's an early BBC joke...

    What's there to discuss? You've stated a fact; there's no room for argument with that.

    Okay then, you gave them a chance to say "Yes".
    There's really nothing else to say!

    Typically people respond saying yes, that's right, then add their 2 pence worth.
    Or they say no, actually it means this or that.

    As it turns out that it's correct, the follwoing question would be - is it sginificant?
    Not just to the current episode but to the whole of Doctor Who?

    Me thinks some people need avoid forums when they still have hangovers - pfft

    Its been significant since the 60s

    Me thinks some people need to think more about thbe whole of Doctor Who.

    Of more relevance might be the continued references to Donna being a temp. ;)

    uh... well DW has been going for a long time and to my knowledge the meaning of the tardis has no significance to anything whatsoever!!

    This is the oldest repeated question ever isn't it?

    I'm sure this was discussed on the wireless with a young Terry Wogan fitting a discussion about in between reports about the Bay Of Pigs disaster.

    I didn't know that!

    We are still trying to work out the significance of Donna always saying she is just a temp
